Hi Brothers,

I m completely new at PHP, i dont know anything about php
but from different sites i have come to know that i can redirect my unfriendly url to friendly urls. so i have started a short project but i dont know how to make url writing plz guide me.

I have 2 pages, 1)Index.php 2)cats.php
source code is for index.php is

<html>
<body>

<p><a href="http://www.example.com/cats.php?cat=1">category1</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.example.com/cats.php?cat=2">category2</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.example.com/cats.php?cat=3">category3</a></p>

</body>
</html>

and the source code for cats.php is

<html>
<body>
<?php
$txt=$_GET['cats'];
echo $txt;
